This Silver Proof 2017-S Kennedy Half Dollar was issued as part of the 2017 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set. Only 50,000 sets were issued, making this a relatively scarce piece. The coin was struck from 12.5 oz of .900 fine silver at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the "S" Mint mark that is on the obverse.

Traditional President Kennedy Design by Gilroy Roberts

Gilroy Roberts's left-side portrait of President John F. Kennedy is on the obverse, as it has been of the Kennedy half dollar since its inception in 1964. The portrait shows the young president with a conservative smile.

Frank Gasparro's modified version of the presidential seal is on the obverse. An eagle grasps arrows and an olive branch in its talons as it protects a union shield. Thirteen stars arch over the bird's head.

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) awarded this coin their highest grade, Proof 70 (PF70), which indicates that it lacks any imperfections that can be seen under 5x magnification. NGC also certified the coin as an Ultra Cameo (UC), meaning that the frosted devices and mirrored fields contrast particularly sharply. The coin is set in a Black Holder, and grading information is provided on a label that marks the 225th anniversary of the United States Mint.
